Silent Night Tilda

Hello and welcome. I must say, iam disappointed how this card shows on the pictures. You know how this is? You have made a card, you really like and than you just can not get it right on the photos. Tildas (Silent Night - So Snowy Collection) cute face just looks so pale on the pictures. I don't know.. i think i must consider getting a different daylight lamp. Right now i take my pictures in the porch and since the daylight is getting shorter and shorter, it seams i can not get it right.
I love those pretty K&Company papers from last year :-) i have been hoarding every tiny little scrap i produce when making a card with them. I like especially the bottom paper with the big white roses. So pretty. I was able to cut it so it would show here and there some sparkle. On the brown paper I used lots of Shimmerz Spritz. On the Ponsiettas is Stickles in Golden Rod and on the swirls Star Dust Stickles.

The vintage flower embellishment (Melissa Frances) is aged with Distress inks and some Shimmerz in Antique . To deepen certain shadows on her coat and on her head band i have used on this time some Prisma Color pencils.

Merry Christmas

Today i would love to show you a card made with the new Magnolia "Jolly" stamps whooohoo.. Of course i had to ink them up and make some cards.. still not finished with my Christmas cards.This little cutie seams to be one of my favorites. I have used her already on 2 more cards/project :-) I like that she fits right into a circle shape and that makes it easy to use her for many sketch challenges that are out there.. besides of course that the image is cute lol

All the layers are distressed heavily and i have used on the book page some chalks to make them look even older. The circle is "dressed" up with some scrolls with my Nestabilities

Holy Night

Hello, thank you for swinging by! Today i have a card made with cute little Lucia from the Magnolia 2008 Collection. I totally love this image and the one with the shorter dress and, and, and ,and….. hahaha. Love them all, but since i have not inked up this stamp yet, i choosed her for my card. I know that if colored the dress, correctly i believe it should probably be white or off white, but i could not resist :-) the papers called for some color.



First i stamped Tilda, masked her and stamped over her “Silent Night” background stamp. Stamped Tilda a second time, colored in and cut out used smaller pop up dots to raise off my papers. For coloring i love Neenah white paper. On the detail shot below you hopefully can see the shimmer i have added with some Shimmerz “Butter cream” on Tilda’s dress and the Designer papers are heavily spritzed with Shimmerz sprays , they are originally much lighter and i was able to achieve a much more vintage look by adding the spray. However, i should have added my sewing first and than add the spray. The thread is too white.

Thank you for visiting me today i appreciate your time.
